False Heads have enlisted live legend Frank Turner for their new song ‘Haunted Houses’ this week. The track is taken from their upcoming album Sick Moon, arriving 30 September on Scruff of the Neck Records.

It starts off as your standard indie anthem before exploding into something much more as lyrics are screamed out and punk guitars go off the rails. Frontman Luke Griffiths spoke about the song, which was produced in Frank Turner’s home studio:

“”Haunted Houses” is about living with your own mental health problems and all the different versions of yourself that you have to cohabit with, only to then have to deal with the rest of the world too. I don’t believe in the supernatural and there is definitely no god. Yet most of our species focus on religion or the supernatural because they can’t deal with themselves.”

“But I think you watch the show of your life in the front row seats. You’re born into a Haunted House and you live with the ghosts of your own life.”
